Barnes & Noble Hides Corsi’s “The Obama Nation” at the Back of Store

I went to purchase my copy of the just released “The Obama Nation” (by Jerome R. Corsi, PH.D.) – “Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality” at a San Francisco Bay Area Barnes & Noble book store. The book is all the buzz on talk radio, and even among the Leftist media which hates America and which is currently supervising the election campaign for Obama. The is no question, the book is going to be a top seller.

This Barnes & Nobles has a New Releases / Just Arrivals section which is always prominently displayed when you walk into the store. In fact, they have several such displays for the latest releases.

The book was no where to be found.

There were, of course, other Obama books. All of them authored by leftists.

I searched around.

I finally found the book in the back of the store, in the political science / current affairs section.

There was only one copy.

This section is organized alphabetically, using the last name of the author and not by the title.

The book, and there was only one, was shelved with the back binding out, and not with the front cover displayed. And, unless you knew the specific author, you would not have found it. In fact, if you were simply browsing for books of interest on Obama, you certainly would have never of found this book – you would have had to have been specifically looking for it, and you would have had to have know the author’s last name.

Since I purchased the only copy, there will be no copies available on the floor of the store until they replace the copy I had purchased.

The Barnes & Noble books stores in the bay area, this one in particular, does this every single time a conservative, or pro-American – in other words anything that isn’t Leftist or partly-line Democratic – is released.

These people are pigs. Those who are managing this store, they do this for political reasons.

If they could, they would not even allow free speech. We would be living in a Hugo Chavez dictatorship. We would be under a Hugo Chaves “militia”, which would replace our military. The militia would be political police, it’s cadre socialist pigs.

Didn’t Obama say, that he wants to replace our military with a militia?

I wonder what would be the crime, the penalty, for possessing such a book?

Once I bought an anti-Michael Moore book, “Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man”, at Borders. It WAS there, but a Borders employee rolled her eyes when she saw me pick up the copy to buy it. On the way out, a family entered
and saw the display for Bill Clinton’s MY LIFE. The
daughter joked, “I thought it was supposed to be called
MY LIES” :) There IS hope!

There were reports of Laura Ingraham books being hidden at Borders, according to her callers, but I easily found a copy of her POWER TO THE PEOPLE at the Burlington VT
store (moonbat country), though. Not hidden.

In fairness to B&N I received the following email this a.m.:

"The Obama Nation
by Jerome R Corsi

"Since you previously used your Membership to purchase a book by Jerome R Corsi, we wanted to let you know that the author's new book, The Obama Nation, is now available."

I guess money trumps politics.

Sh*t! Globama’s narcisisstic alternative to Charmin was displayed like the crown jewels at my local B&N. Don’t they no how many people they’re antagonizing?

I bought my copy of Obama Nation Saturday at Sam's Club. Top Shelf front row new releases. $15.48.

It's a quick read. Full of juicy tidbits from birth to present.

When Unfit For Command came out, I want to my local library to get a copy of it.

They did not have a single copy of it, so I checked their computer to see if another library in the county had one.

There were a total of 2 copies in the whole county, and they had put the book under fiction.

I blew a casket, and complained.

The head library told me that some people considered the book fiction.

That is when I shot back that the Library of Congress thought otherwise, and walked out the door.

I am not even going to try to get this book there.

I found the same practice of hiding the Obama Nation book here at my local Barnes and Noble...in the Boca Raton, Florida store. Had to ask a salesperson where the book was. Took us over 10 minutes and looking all over the store in 4 different sections where the book “should have been displayed.” The salesperson told me that this was common practice at most Barnes and Noble stores...hiding the book. Once we finally did find it, she grabbed the remaining 3 copies and put them on the table in front of the store where they belonged. Went there the next day and once again, they were gone. Back to the obscure section of the store where nobody would ever find it.
I've email Barnes and Noble and told them that I will never shop in their stores again...after 15 years as a dedicated customer.
